Automated Classification and Assignment of Java Questions to Teaching Units and Problem Areas

Abstract

There are currently a large amount of uncategorized Java questions in use, primarily on the platform Moodle. Regarding these questions, there is a need to be able to categorize them according to not only the different keywords contained within, but also the approximate difficulty of the questions. Right now, these questions contain some tags with which they can be identified, but these tags are not sufficient. Also, no measure of difficulty currently exists in the metadata of the exercises.
